Intel Core 5 120U vs Intel Core 5 210H

Core 5 120U vs Core 5 210H specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core 5 120U performs better than the Core 5 210H. Despite this, the Core 5 210H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core 5 120U has slightly more cores than the Core 5 210H. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Core 5 210H. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core 5 210H has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core 5 120U. The info from our database shows that the Core 5 210H has more L2 cache than the Core 5 120U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core 5 120U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
